MP1 ($106.55)
MP2 ($101.40)

UTG+1's initial min-raise is suspicious as hell and after he pushes your re-raise I think you've got to fold, especially with no reads.

With this many people in the pot, I would have considered playing my JJ for set value. Someone is gonna catch a piece of the flop and the pot is already ~$10 with some big stacks involved.

I'd definitely play for set value with multiway pot developing also.

I'd be tempted to call the all in cos you are getting over 2:1 on your money and he is shortstacked but I just cant see him having TT< or AJ< enough to make it +EV.

I debated just calling but I would have been happy to win $8 PF with JJ and thought a raise might do it.

To add to this...
I also hate to flat call here because I won't know just how strong my opponent is. If the flop comes 8 high and he has QQ+, I'm going to be paying him off.

Agreed on the pop PF, and I see nothing wrong with folding after an EP min-raise followed by a push with no reads.

I would make a player note, though.
